For the first time in the Irishman’s UFC career, he was forced out after an injury developed in training camp.
UFC boss Dana White and McGregor himself spoke out to confirm that it was an injury that caused the fight to be cancelled.
But few details have emerged about what exactly happened to the former UFC champion.
McGregor has since taken to social media to post photos posing with his youngest son, Mack, and during a night out at his Black Forge Inn pub.
And eagle-eyed fans noticed the Irishman wearing flip-flops – leading to theories he injured his toes or toes.
One said: “Just an observation, but in the latest photos of McGregor he is wearing loose/comfortable flip-flops.
“Which makes me wonder if he has a toe injury.”
One of them theorized: “I’m going to say that it affects your foot with the choice of footwear”.

McGregor hasn’t fought since July 2021, when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier.
But for the first time in his UFC career, he was forced to pull out of a fight, but took to social media to ensure he would return.
McGregor, 35, wrote: “It is very difficult to be excluded from my scheduled return fight.
“I suffered an injury before the press conference that required more time to heal than was available to me.
“The decision to postpone the fight was not made lightly, but rather in consultation with my doctors, the UFC and my team.
“My fans and opponent deserve my best for this fight and we will get there!
“Thank you for the messages of support, I’m in a good mood and confident that I’ll be back!”
No rescheduled date was announced, but August or September were considered target dates.
